Chapter 194, the sick and the violent
Qin, who grew up in the inner house, was often Mrs. Bo's military advisor. She said that the words of the female relatives had no other meaning, so Mrs. Bo did not think much about it. The New Year is coming soon. She was busy preparing sacrifices. This year, she resigned from the New Year's Day celebrations as usual, and there were more guests at home.
Half a month ago, I received a message brought back by Lin Peng, saying that everything was fine and that they acted according to Mrs. Bo's instructions. Mrs. Bo's instructions generally refer to the news that Mo Dou gave back. There are so many salt merchants in Xixian, and not all business is as harmonious as before. Lin Peng brought a cousin who was idle and three seemingly stupid and shrewd local rich men went to find others' dislikes. The local rich men went to make money, the cousin went to work as a servant, and Lin Peng went to build a salt mine.
The Lin family bought a house shop in Nanxing, and the Hou family lived with them. Logically speaking, when they went home during the New Year, they went home to pay homage to their ancestors and meet relatives. The shops during the New Year are all closed, and Nanxing is no exception. It is a good time for the walkway.
But when Lin Peng went to Xixian, he told his wife and Hou family not to go back. The road was cold and there was no man to accompany him. The uncle of the Hou family was getting older and it was difficult to expect him to take care of him on the road. He sent the New Year gift back at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month and made an appointment with his relatives to see him on the Dragon Boat Festival on May.
Filial families generally do not receive guests. This is true for three years and one year of mourning. The guests also think that it is unlucky and will not go. Mrs. Lin and the third lady don’t think so. There is no taboo in the merchant’s family. The officials are worried about impeachment by the censor. The merchant has to go out with tears in his eyes, otherwise the goods will not wait for others, and the market will not wait for others. The Bo’s house has only two wives and concubines. Mrs. Lin takes the Hou family’s novels to celebrate the New Year together. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it just happened to pay homage to Chengping Bo.
The next day was the first New Year, and the first day of the New Year came. In the morning, all officials congratulated each other. The officials and relatives all resisted the Princess of Jin. They had headaches, feet, heartache, mouth, and all kinds of unhappy. Pang Shi was naturally happy. Xi Liang formed an alliance and finished the game quickly. Mrs. Pang and Qi also said they were sick and refused to go.
In the afternoon, Qiao Yuanshan brought all the officials to Chengping Bo Mansion to pay homage. This was the last New Year in the three years of mourning. Bo Mansion treated him solemnly, and the King of Jin was not negligent. Liang Ren hesitated for a long time but he still did not show up.
If you avoid suspicion, it would be a surprise that the Prince Lu Mansion would not be able to withstand rumors. However, when he saw Mrs. Bo, he felt guilty. She, who even dared to misunderstand and beat her, is now rumored in Beijing. If she knew that she would come with a wooden stick and then run, the gate of Prince Jin's mansion would be strong, and she would probably hurt her wooden stick and hurt her hand.
He could only smash the door first, Liang Ren would not open the middle door and wait for a beating.
He should have appeared, and he wanted to appear. This was his true mood. Sometimes he wanted to explain to Mrs. Bo in person, but he was afraid of scaring her and being bothered. Later, Guo Yuren solved the problem of Your Highness. He sent a secret report to capture a few people from the Lu Palace. Nanxing was more than anything, and Liang Ren would not be criticized when he went there. He left Chang'an instead to pay homage to worship, and ordered Liang Wen and Liang Wu to go there, and also sent a message to the inner house, hoping that Xi Duanxiu could go there.
Xi Duanxiu was still defending her husband's life. Mrs. Chengpingbo was angry. She returned from Yin'an Hall for a few days before the New Year. Under Tang's "makeup plan", she saw the doctor for tonics for three meals a day. Then she resigned like snowflakes. The officials and their relatives were headache, sore feet, heartache and mouth pain, and refused to congratulate him. Xi Duan was so delicate that she really had to get sick. The Yin'an Hall was so lively on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it had nothing to do with her. She was angry. Liang Ren asked her to go to Chengpingbo, and Xi Duanxiu also said she would not go to the sick.
It seemed that no one was waiting for her to go, but she should have known it. So, Liang Wen and Liang Wu went by himself. Later, Xi Duanxiu learned that the officials and relatives who had headaches, feet, heartache, and mouth pain were all in Chengping Bo Mansion. She was so angry that she looked at the doctor again. The doctor looked ugly when she saw her. This time, she really thought she was about to get sick, so she carefully prescribed some medicines to relieve liver qi and relieve depression. Tang brought it with her. This was different from tonics, which was a big bowl of bitter medicine juice.
Tang comforted: "The master will come when he receives the letter, and will not let Xiaosheng and Liangtian die." Xi Duanxiu smiled bitterly, hoping that Yu Aunt Wan could speak eloquently and convince her elder brother to come as a relative.
She sighed: "I'm going to be the second day of the New Year tomorrow. If you get married, you can still return to peace."
Tang just said to Xi Chonggu for help. When he heard this, he immediately dispelled Xi Duanxiu's idea and said, "If my aunt had not come back, which family's mistress would like it."
To be honest, Tang was still satisfied with the days of the King of Jin's Mansion. The King of Jin could not move her and vent her anger and beat her to death. Tang thought that her whereabouts last night had been explained to Xi Duanxiu that she had taken out a lot of money and her lips and tongue, and she had to add the power of the nine oxen and two tigers to make friends with a mother who often wandered around the inner house in the royal city. This mother was so bad. Tang did not hide the power of the nine oxen and two tigers from the royal palace. Tang wanted to make trouble for her and she wanted to make trouble for Tang. After a while, she drank too much and fell asleep at her mother's house.
Although it made the princess worried, her mother also bribed her. She promised her to inform her when she was romantic.
Xi Duanxiu’s fault for arresting Liang Ren. When the elder brother comes, it’s better to come and catch the evildoer, so that the elder brother can teach the King of Jin a good lesson to him. She forgives Tang. Tang does not respond overnight, which intensifies the conflict between Xi Duanxiu and his family members. Tang is a vague person, and even if he dies, he will die. Tang’s mother will vent her anger for you.
After Xi Duanxiu finished speaking, Tang continued to speak loudly in front of her. When the master and servant were in love, she shed tears when they were chatting, and when they were having fun, they thought that Xi Chonggu would arrive soon, and they were so happy that they would dance. When they talked about the fact that the officials and their relatives would not worship the princess, they would also pay homage to Chengping Bo Mansion. They increasingly recognized that Mrs. Bo, who had a great status, was Xi Duanxiu's opponent.
Then he was selling his thoughts. The master and servant guessed that Song's mother was instructed by Mrs. Bo to get Tang drunk, and the princess would definitely look for Tang. The conflict between the officials and the princess was put on the table.
It’s all because Mrs. Bo is sinister. Mother Song is greedy for money and the officials and relatives cannot see through this game. As for the two of them, of course, they are a pair of good people and a pair of good people.
If Mother Song knew that the master and servant thought this way, she might be happy last year. She didn't want to go out on the snowy day. Four plates and six bowls were burnt and hot. In order to reward herself, your Mother Tang came uninvited, and it had nothing to do with others.
Xi Duanxiu was obviously not awakened, and Tang's mother was obviously still proud. The mothers who dowry did not suffer the loss in front of her, took Guisheng to avoid far away, the dowry was hard, and obeyed the princess... they could not obey her childishness and innocence. Besides, obeying her would offend the King of Jin. Early life and Liangtian were a lesson. The mothers who dowry only whispered to ask Tang's mother: "Have you sent a letter?"
Thirty-two dowry were prepared by Jiang's family. Tang made it easy for Zaosheng and Liangtian to change their minds. Zaosheng and Liangtian believed that they were from the King of Jin's mansion from then on. Jiang's family could not do anything, but the postman would not change his mind. They delivered letters on behalf of Xi Duanxiu and Tang's mother to Jiang's family, indicating the true situation of the fifteenth girl after she got married.
The officials on the first day of the Lunar New Year did not worship, and Liang Ren and the butler both went out. The Jin Palace was deserted. In comparison, the first day of the Chengping Bo Mansion was crowded with people.
The white curtains and black curtains remain unchanged, and the people who worshiped the dead could not laugh. They seemed to suppress the New Year atmosphere in the royal city. The people who came in could not help but slow down and spoke slowly.
Who are the people who come?
Chang'an represents His Highness King Jin, a separate offering, Liang Wen represents the Princess Jin, and Liang Wu represents the Princess Jin's Mansion. In addition, the officials and their husbands arrive, each family has a separate offering.
Each shop in the royal city had a separate offering. The merchants who stayed behind the royal city and did not return home either had a separate offering or a sacrifice from three to five teams. Flower women like Song Mama also came with a bunch of paper money, and other flower women also gathered to please.
There were too many people, and Mrs. Qiao helped to arrange the arrangement and heard the booing of the women around her. She looked up and saw a beautiful woman wearing thin makeup. Her black coat made her skin clean as white as snow. This was not the Nangong Cen who claimed to be sick and died if she couldn't see Your Highness.
Mrs. Feng walked over and laughed behind Mrs. Qiao: "If you can go out, let's wait and see the show." Mrs. Feng's family did not expect to send the girl to the prince's mansion, but Princess Jin's actions also angered her.
Her words made Mrs. Qiao smile. Nangong Cen's ability is famous in the royal city. She repeatedly drove away the officials who gave marriage to the capital. The officials scolded him did not dare to leave the post. The main reason was that this person was so powerful. Mrs. Jiang's belly was not very harsh, but Nangong Cen was also smart and irritable. She cured this disease and thought she would not give up with Princess Jin.
The officials and family members laughed together. A few female members sitting here were confused and thought it was inappropriate to smile, so they lowered their heads to drink tea.
Mrs. Nangong was like a peacock with open-faced appearance, showing her good figure after she recovered. Suddenly, she found Xuan Jin, who was avoiding her, walked past her puffed joy, and said, "You are so fat."
Mrs. Xiao Xuan's teeth were grinding, and she seemed to scare the bitch from Nangong. She looked proud and said, "I'm thinking, I'm doing well, unlike some people who pretend to be sick and pretend to be really sick, which makes me worry. I'm so worried. I thought it's really over, so I'd spend a few dollars on incense sticks. Look at me, I'm here to pay my respects. The whole incense candle is mine. The money is willing, and I don't want to be too much."
Mrs. Nangong rolled her eyes at the same time, and then went to worship her master.
The whole mansion was full of people, with the official robes and hair shadows swaying. Lady Lin and Lady San were originally a little proud, and felt that the respect of their families was the first, but now they were so scared that they dared not come out. When Qin asked them to stand in the business team, they realized that the main business they had was to worship.
Qiao Yuanshan was the chief priest, Liang Wen and Liang Wu were the deputy, so he asked to go out to the main hall of the Boling position in Chengping. The sacrifices passed like flowing water. The unknown people thanked him and cried bitterly.
The common people came after hearing the news. A group of neighbors came from Mopan Street where the Youjia grocery store was located. The old ladies advised Mrs. Bo: "Second aunt, you are filial now. Don't be too taboos anymore. I cried in pain last time today, so I should be careful."
The censor Gao Jin left, and he often breathed a sigh of relief. He came to ask if the King of Jin's mansion had noticed it. He always felt that there was a knife hanging behind him. He secretly thought that the King of Jin was not ignorant, so he came to him from Wei Linxing until Gao Jin appeared in front of him.
Longmen Trading Company is no exception. Tu Jushan is also coming. After worshiping, you usually invite tea, wine and food. The kitchens in Bo Mansion are busy all the time today, although most people don’t leave for meals, or leave after eating three cups.
Tu Jushan is the one who leaves after eating three cups. When he followed his family to the idle living room, a familiar voice came from the north wind.
"I was talking about it soon. Old Manager Fei kicked the table blocking the way, and there was someone else, that is, me. I was so scared that my mother shouted in the air. The wind was filled with the wind in my ears. I closed my eyes and heard the sounds everywhere in my ears, such as the knife and the axe chopped..."
"Brother Xiao Shuzi, if Sister Cha Xiang is here, I will definitely say you will cheat me," a girl said.
"Yes, you just said that Old Manager Fei didn't bring any weapons, and the other party was empty-handed, but there were too many people, so where did the sound of a knife chopping axe chopping?" This was the boy's voice.
"You think, I'm closing my eyes. I'm thinking about it. Of course I'll come out. If you don't believe me, close my eyes and I'll punch you a few times. You can try if the wind sounds like weapons..." The storyteller was very upset.
"Okay, you're right. When you finish talking, you'd better report the address of the shopkeeper Fei as before." The girl and the boy arrived together.
"Haha, Old Manager Fei has only ten years to wash his hands. Don't be anxious. Don't be anxious. Listen to the story first. Oh, I'll give me two pieces of snacks. I'm not tired."
This small living room is a little remote, and the sorrow and joy in the main hall happens to be at the lowest point. Tu Jushan's ears are very good. The north wind just blows over. Do Tu Jushan still need to see every word? Besides, he strode over and came to the door of the small living room where the sound came out, and naturally saw the teenagers feasting.
It was cold and I couldn't stay in the pavilion. There were many small living rooms in the uncle's mansion, so the young men found it here to eat warmly.
There was a sound of slapping in the small living room. Lin Xier and Lin Huzi were so scared that they ran out with their heads in their arms. They asked who was coming in and then they beat people. After a while, Tu Jushan stopped drinking. He walked out with a dark face with a long list of bowed boys. He did not dare to stop his family. Before the story was finished, Lin Huzi, who had been hiding from the unfamiliar journey, told his sister: "Brother Xiao Shuzi was beaten, and they were all beaten."
Lin Xier blinked hard and said wisely: "I remembered that this is the big shopkeeper of Longmen Trading Company."
"Ah!" Lin Huzi opened his mouth in horror, and his eyes blinked non-stop.
......
The Longmen Trading Company is also closed for the New Year. The person on duty here is the old shopkeeper's expenses, which is the old shopkeeper Xiao Shuzi just mentioned. This name is not his father's miser, but his family is looking forward to the boy. His father hugged him the first sentence: "I have a expensive one. The boy can eat, and he still has to marry a wife, and he can't receive a bride."
This became his name. It was really expensive to practice martial arts when he grew up. His mother said that the name was wrong, so there was no need to change it.
Seeing Tu Jushan bringing the boy in, Old Manager Fei was happy: "Where did you get the defeated quail?"
"Ask them! Say it yourself! It's not that I'll catch it, the color of my underwear will leak out the next day!" When I returned to my own home, Tu Jushan was furious.
It is also a pain to have a good ear strength. Then he heard the teenagers whispers: "The shopkeeper is really talking, can he change his underwear color?"
"I know."
"I know, too."
“The backyard is now hanging, I know.”
